About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been caring for pets of all kinds for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets — and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, patient with anxious or senior animals, and always communicate regularly with owners so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, both as a child and as an adult. Over the years, I've cared for several dogs of different breeds, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Spending time with dogs brings me so much joy, whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship and care. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly can't imagine a world without them. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I also have fostered several litters of puppies, and administered medications with ease. I work out of the home but I am able to drop in to play and let dogs out everyday around lunch. Maximum 3 hours in crate at a time. I treat each dog like a family member. I will make sure to update you daily on how they are doing! Pictures are so important!
“Sarah took wonderful care of our dog Duncan! I cant say enough about how well Sarah and her family cared for our dog when we were away! She was terrific with communication before and during our booking for pet sitting. She sent us great pictures of Duncan while we were on vacation, making sure we knew he was being well cared for. I would definitely book with Sarah again without hesitation. Everything went smoothly with the entire booking process!”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“I'm delighted to be Amber's first review, as this sit was magnificent!! Amber and her family came through for me for a last-minute, same-day holiday (4th of July) booking, and they were great from start to finish! Very friendly, helpful, responsive, and flexible and seemed to attend well to my Sienna -- following my various tips and even going lengths to ensure, with her being an older dog, that she wouldn't be out in the heat during walks for too long and was protected by the outside fireworks that first night! Amber also shared some text and picture updates throughout the stay, and her and her husband for were very reassuring both during drop-off and pickup regarding Sienna's care. They were so great that I ended up extending the sit to an extra day, originally scheduled for just one, and they were very accommodating in my doing so. Sienna seemed to like them well, and I think they liked her -- I definitely would book again whenever we're back in this area again!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my special-needs pup, Dottie, for 8 years. She’s on a strict diet and takes meds too, so I’m good with following precise instructions. I have a loving and serene home where Dottie and I can welcome your pup. I work from home on Fridays, so I am available for boarding for long weekends. We could coordinate a Thursday evening drop-off if need be. On the weekends, I go to a pilates class and run errands, but am otherwise around as company for the dogs. My yard is only partially fenced, so I will be taking the dogs on leashed walks. Dottie sleeps in bed with me, so it’s okay if your pup needs to as well. If your dog is crate-trained, that is okay too.
“Kyla took care of Leo on short notice and kept in touch with updates while we were away. Leo seemed very happy and relaxed the whole time. We really appreciated her communication and care!”
“Haj and his family are incredibly loving and attentive - treating our pups that we boarded with them as if they were their own. We received daily updates in pictures, text annd video and you could tell how well they were being treated and cared for. Haj was also highly responsive. We would without hesitation board with Haj again.”
“I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Whitney but Michael was wonderful (as were their kids). Very quick to respond to all messages and kept me informed of how my pup was doing frequently. He was also very accommodating when our trip got extended by a day. Skylar seemed happy as a clam when we picked her up and told me she'd be happy staying with her new friends any time! We'll be back - highly recommended.”
“Monica provides wonderful care for my two French Bulldogs. Drop-off and pick-up are a breeze. This rebook sealed the deal - my dogs were excited to return and willingly left me for the fun and play at Monica’s. Thank you!”
“Swapna and her family were so welcoming to our pup! We got lots of photos and updates and could tell he immediately felt at home with them. We will definitely be back!”
“Bhali and her family took care of our dog for her first night away from home. She did so well and had such a great time. Bhali provided such a warm and loving home away from home! We’ll definitely come back!”
“Tanvi and her family gave Chestnut so much love. Their Shi-Tzu Happy was a great companion to him and they became best friends! Tanvi sent regular updates with photos and videos every day and put us at ease. This was our first boarding experience for a whole week, and we would not hesitate to keep him there again. Thank you for being such a caring and good rover sitter for Chestnut!”
“Kate did an amazing job taking care of my baby kitten, Bella! She provided frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my kitten was in great hands. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional, and I truly appreciated her reassurance throughout. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Courtney was incredible with my dog! She was warm and welcoming and took fantastic care of Lulu while I was away. She will be my first pick when I need to go out of town again. Thanks you so much!!”
“Our dog, Milou, had a great stay with Mairim and family! Milou is a senior dog and has a number of health issues requiring multiple medications. Mairim managed everything beautifully, including twice daily insulin injections. She kept in close contact with me to ask questions and then shared photos to confirm Milou had settled in well and was having a great time. I highly recommend Mairim for your dogs.”
“Catherine is very responsive, which made the booking process seamless. She is a very pleasant lady and very easy to talk to, our puppy was very comfortable with her from the get go. I had no issues at all i will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Kiana was amazing! She was able to take in our dog on such short notice, was extremely communicative, and upon meeting her it is evident that she has the perfect temperament to put a dog at ease, especially in a new environment. We got caught in the worst gridlock traffic coming home and she was so patient and accommodating despite our pickup being delayed. Cant say enough good things!”
“Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter! This was the first time my one year old goldendoodle was being watched by a family member, but Melissa made sure not only Sammie felt comfortable, cared for, and loved, but also me! She sent daily text updates, plenty of pictures, and a video each day of my vacation. Sammie even was able to fall asleep with her in her bed similar to how she is at home. Sammie loved their dogs and had a great time playing in the back yard. I highly recommend Melissa, Dan, and her family for watching dogs. You will feel at ease knowing your pup is in wonderful, loving hands :)”

Jolanta was the perfect sitter for our nervous puppy. She has a beautiful home with a fenced backyard, and our puppy loved getting to play with another dog during the stay. Jolanta sent great photos and videos and has such a warm, knowing way with dogs. It was clear our puppy had a wonderful time, and I recommend her with utmost confidence.
Sam is amazing! Our dog has the best time at her house, and we can always tell she is so well cared for and truly treated like part of the family. We get wonderful pictures every day showing our dog happy, exercised, and loved, which gives us so much confidence and peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have found Sam - I’m sure our dog Sophie is too!
I highly recommend Darin and McKenna as pet sitter! Our two dogs just spent a week at their place, and it truly felt like they were on their own luxury vacation. From the start, Darin and McKenna were incredibly attentive to every detail and specific need our pups had. They didn’t just "watch" our dogs; they genuinely befriended them and invested a lot of personalized time and affection into making them feel at home. What impressed us most was their dedication during a particularly tough week of heavy snow. Despite the weather challenges, they remained completely unfazed and stayed "up to the task," ensuring our dogs were safe, pampered, and happy throughout the storms. If you are looking for sitters who are responsible, caring, and go the extra mile, Darin and McKenna are the best choice. Our dogs can’t wait to go back!
On a last minute request, Jhonny took care of both my dog and my mom’s dog. He did not require a meet and greet which was extremely helpful as we were kind of in a bind. Ultimately, Jhonny came across as genuinely caring about the animals, and we couldn’t be happier with how our pups came home. It was like they never left. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Andrea! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog, and it was clear from the start that he felt comfortable and happy with her. She and her family treated him like he was truly part of the crew, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent pictures throughout the day, and in every single one he looked relaxed, loved, and having a great time. I couldn't have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in the area and can't wait to have my dog stay with her again! Thanks, Andrea!!! 🫶
We are SO happy that we found Abby to watch our sweet senior fur baby over a long weekend. Abby was very attentive to our instructions and sent lots of updates every day, which really put us at ease leaving our dog with a new person. Our dog can be a bit timid but she warmed right up to Abby right away — dogs really are an excellent judge of character! Abby was also very flexible when we were facing some unexpected flight delays coming back to town. I highly recommend her and we are looking forward to rebooking with her!
Lauren did a wonderful job with Kobe. He was a rescue as has some social problems. She took such great care of him. She was nice enough to watch him at our house which was a lot to ask of her especially since we needed her for 10 hours. I would recommend Lauren highly and I know if ever I need her again I would hire her. Thanks Lauren for your help.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
